17 May is Norwegian Independence Day. They actually have a parade for it in Seattle, with its significant Norwegian community, so anyone who's lived anywhere near the Ballard region of Seattle has gotten a full dose of bork bork bork. On 17 May it's a good time to eat lefse, which is basically potato tortillas.

 

Olaf became king after Haakon VII, who reigned during the war (partly benefiting from you folks' hospitality and support, Wayne). He was a teen, I think, as Crown Prince when the Norwegian Royal Family and cabinet were trying to escape the Germans.

[Prometevsberg-migration]

the reverse shows the last lines of the national anthem

And as the fathers' struggle has raised

it from poverty to victory,

even we, when it is demanded,

for its peace will encamp (for defence).

or

And, as warrior sires have made her

Wealth and fame increase,

At the call we too will aid her

Armed to guard her peace.

as translated in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja,_vi_elsker_dette_landet

 

the text in the circle around the protrait of the young crown prince Olav says Norway, you are ours, the land of the future.

It seesm likely to be produced in 1905, to mark the dissolution of the Union with Sweden, and not an official coin

Did you look it up in the catalog of unusual world coins? I've become quite a fan of Krause as of late.
